Introducere
Acest capitol se refera la maiestrie, la excelenta sau perfectiune, care apartin manifestarii lui Tao,
care este puterea sa (德 Te) ce se manifesta sub forma capacitatilor directe de cunoastere si de
actiune, in diferite domenii ( actiuni, operatii ) . Te (德 pinyin: dé, Wade–Giles: te; tê; teh; EFEO: tö)
este un concept cheie in filosofia chineza tradus de obicei in taoism prin: " virtute; caracter inerent,
puterea interioară, integritate, puterea, efectul sau manifestarea lui Tao", in confucianism drept:
"caracter moral; virtute morala; moralitate", in buddhismul chinez drept: "merit", fapte virtuoase"
(punya), iar in alte contexte drept "putere", "viaţă", "carismă", "bunătate", "calitate" (in sanskrita:
guna) . Cu alte cuvinte acest capitol se refera la caracteristicile paradoxale ale puterii perfecte (德
pinyin: dé, te), asa ca diversi traducatori redau caracterul 善shàn (bun) prin termeni precum:
putere (virtute), "cel bun la"( o anumita actiune: mers, vorbit, divinatie, ajutorare, salvare,
vindecare), "cel ce ştie bine" ( sa mearga, să vorbească, sa calculeze, sa inchida, sa lege ), "cel
iscusit in/ la", perfect, "cel care exceleaza in" , "cel ce este adept al unei anumite discipline ( mers,
vorbit, calcul, divinatie, inchidere, securizare, legare ). Exista conceptia ca pentru a excela intr-un
domeniu ( pentru a realizeza maiestria, iscusinta) este nevoie sa investim timp pt a deveni experti
in acel domeniu . Un expert in domeniul legarii este inteles apoi ca un adept al acelui domeniu (
mers, legare, inchidere). Lao Tzu infirma aceasta eroare fiindca un adept al inchiderii sau legarii
nu se apropie niciodata de perfectiunea la care se refera textul si care este datorata trecerii la
regimul direct de functionare, iar nu unui proces de perfectionare sau de specializare a unei
anumite deprinderi ramanand prizonieri in regimul mijlocit de functionare. Solutia data de Lao Tzu
nu este perfectionarea in timp, ci iesirea din timp (dualitate, minte). Astfel perfectiunea in
inchidere nu este mijlocita si nu se bazeaza pe usi, bare, lacate si zavoare (27.4-5); perfectiunea
in legare nu se intemeiaza si nu se obtine cu ajutorul sforii, funiei si a nodurilor(27.6-7); si este
imposibil de deschis de catre experti in noduri..
Traducerea termenului 善shàn prin "bun" ( este o influenta confucianista) a fost evitata de multi
din cei care s-au aplecat asupra acestui text , folosindu-se termeni sau expresii precum ( virtutea,
perfectiunea, iscusinta, cel care exceleaza...) pentru a nu intra in contradictie cu afirmatiile din
capitolul 2 [ cine defineste sau introduce un termen al cuplului de contrarii (omul bun) introduce
automat si contrariul sau ( omul rau; introducerea modelului de bun, frumos, face ca tot ce este
diferit de acest model sa fie perceput ca rau, urat )]. Cu alte cuvinte toate actiunile si operatiile
sunt ale virtutii (puterii directe ), care se manifesta in cazul lui Tao si a omului care a devenit una
cu el. Dualitatea bun- rau este introdusa de minte si poate fi evitata prin redarea termenului

善 shàn prin perfect/perfectiune ( a virtutii). Aceasta inlocuire ne permite sa intelegem faptul ca
Lao Tzu si Chuang Tzu se refera la altceva decat la un mesaj confucianist in cazul propozitiilor
(27.14-15) :
27.14: De aceea, omul bun este pentru cel rău invatator / Therefore: good men are not good
men's teacher,
27.15: (iar) cel rău este in a celui bun sarcina ( datorie; lectie; invatatura; sprijin; folos; avere;
unealta ) / and the bad people are good people’s task.

27.01-3. Oricine poate inţelege că dacă omenirea trece la propulsia holografică sau directă, care
este delocalizată, sincronica, ca si gravitaţia ori timpul, iar nu localizată la o suprafaţă de contact
ori progresiva ( diacronica), atunci nu mai apare inerţie si reacţiune. In mod similar cel ce practică
acţiunea paradoxală ( holografică) sau nemijlocită (wu-wei) nu produce reacţiuni (urme) şi nu se
foloseşte de mijloace externe pentru a lega, incuia, decide (socoti). El merge fără să lase urme, ca
păsările în văzduh şi peştii în apă (vedeţi şi comentariul capitolului 14).
O veche zicală coreană afirmă "Cel ce ştie să urmărească (să găsească urmele), ştie şi să fugă
(fără să lase urme)". Accesul la acţiunea paradoxală sau nemijlocita ( la regimul direct de
funcţionare) este legat insă şi de eliminarea identificării cu mintea şi cu falsul său centru (ego),
care vin cu intenţii, aşteptări, planuri ( cu programarea şi inchiderea viitorului ) .

Tan Han Hiong: A good leader does not confine his men to ensure that they stay.
a good employer does not need rope to bind his men to their jobs.
A perfect closing/shutting makes no use of bolt and bar, and yet nobody can open it.
A perfect binding makes no use of rope and knot, And yet nobody can untie it
Mears Isabella (1922): The good man has power to close the inner door and no one can open it.
The good man has power to tie the inner knot and no one can untie it.
Ni Hua-Ching: One who is good at shutting things makes no use of bolt and bar, yet no one can
open what he has shut. One who is good at tying makes no use of cords and knots, yet no one can
untie what he has fastened.
Kwok Man-Ho , Palmer, Ramsay, (1993): He keeps out thieves with wisdom! He'snever robbed -
He makes sure the rules are binding, then no one can undo them

Balfour, Frederic H. (1884): When the virtuous are obstructed [in their policy], though there be no
bolt to the door which shuts them in, it yet cannot be opened. When the virtuous enter into
relations with others, though they be not bound by the ties of contract, they yet may not release
themselves [from their obligations].
Kunesh Tom : the safest places have no bolts or locks, the best friendships have no need of vows
or promises, yet they cannot be broken
27.08-13. Din cauza atitudinilor eronate (problema de programare) civilizatia umana pierde pe
banda rulanta genii, talente, resurse umane imense, considerandu-le rebuturi, fiindca nu intra in
tiparele (asteptarile) si locurile fixe ocupate de piesele masinii sociale. O cauza a inchiderii si
pierderii potentialului creativ este faptul ca fiintele umane nu sunt iubite si acceptate, pentru ceea
ce sunt din nastere, ci sunt doar pretuite, ca intr-o piata ( revenim la civilizatia de negustori care
se ocupa de spiritualitate si cu alte ocazii ) pentru ceea ce stiu, pentru talentele ( deprinderile) de
care sunt capabile . Doar oamenii care au trecut la regimul direct de functionare ( care s-au trezit )
sunt capabili sa elimine ideile preconcepute (revedeti: 27.1), planificarea si instruirea uniformizata (
nu instruim un bou sa prinda soareci, in locul unei pisici, al celor inzestrati natural pt acest lucru),
sa actioneze fara expectatii distructive( care solicita urmarea unor modele de reusita, care
alieneaza sau instraineaza oamenii de izvorul lor de viata), sa nu inhibe inflorirea potentialului din
fiecare fiinta umana, sa foloseasca ocaziile sau oportunitatile si sa nu risipeasca resursele
naturale. In paragraful Conexiuni exista un text din Chang Tzu (Zhuang zi ) intitulat: "Nu exista
nici oameni inutili si nici materiale inutile / Neither Useless People Nor Useless Materials
The Sage is always good in using people and materials (Lao Tzu Ch. 27)
27.13. Atitudinea de prezenta impartiala a sfantului si a realitatii sursa (Tao) a fost sesizata de
toti misticii. Prezenta impartiala si ajutorul egal apare in cazul soarelui , care lumineaza in mod
egal toate fiintele si in cazul ploii ( care uda in mod egal florile si buruienile; Anthony de Mello in
cartea sa "Constienta/Awareness" citeaza proverbul arab: "Natura ploii este aceeasi, dar ea face
sa creasca si spini in mlastini si flori in gradini"/ "The nature of rain is the same, but it makes thorns
grow in the marshes and flowers in the gardens" ). Kohn Livia (The Taoist experience: an
anthology ,1993) foloseste metafora soarelui atunci cand afirma ca sfantul devine una cu lumina
universala, care este de ajutor tuturor fiintelor si nu respinge pe niciuna (" Is always there to help
all beings — He rejects no creature. Thus it is said: He is at-one with universal light" )

De aceea sfântul (înţeleptul) [după modelul lui Tao (care ştie să meargă, să vorbească, să
socotească, să închidă şi să lege bine)]
Therefore: wise men
este mereu bun in salvarea/sprijinirea oamenilor
are always good at saving men
fără să abandoneze/ să respingă pe nimeni;
hence without abandoning anyone;
El este totdeauna gata să utilizeze bine clipa [momentul prielnic].
always good at saving things
de aceea nu dispretuieşte/risipeşte nici o ocazie/lucru.
27.13. 是謂襲明。 shì wèi xí* míng**.
Aceasta se numeste a urma/ a poseda de două ori lumina [cunoaşterii].
Dies heißt: „man folgt der Erleuchtung".
Ram (1932) In felul acesta inteleptul e ajutor si sprijin pentru toti oamenii, fără a respinge pe nimeni. El
este ajutor si sprijin pt. toate lucrurile si nu dispetuieste pe niciunul. [Se poate spune că mintea lui e de
două ori luminată. ]

părăseşte. El ştie totdeauna să salveze fiinţele, de aceea el nu le părăseşte. Acesta se cheamă o
cultură adâncă. ( in lb. rusă este "мудростью", adică "inţelepciune")/ Ян Хин-Шун: поэтому
совершенномудрый постоянно умело спасает людей и не покидает их. он всегда умеет
